Rod Blagojevich Calls Barack Obama to the Witness Stand

The lawyers of mediocre Celebrity Apprentice contestant Rod Blagojevich would like President Barack Obama to appear as a witness in Blagojevich’s trial. Reports The New York Times: “In their motion filed Thursday asking a judge to issue a subpoena, the lawyers argue that President Obama, alone, can provide insight into a central accusation against the former governor— namely, that he tried to get money or a high-paying job in exchange for making an appointment to the United States Senate seat Mr. Obama left when he was elected president.”

Back in 2008, a different set of lawyers concluded that Obama’s people never spoke with any of Blagojevich’s people. However, Team Blagojevich is claiming that “Obama personally called a union official about his desire for Blagojevich to appoint Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett to replace him in the Senate,” according to the Chicago Sun-Times. Team Obama has admitted that he did not “actively seek to have her or any other particular candidate appointed to the vacancy.” It would seem the chances of Obama appearing in Blagojevich’s Celebrity Criminal Investigation are minimal, if not, let’s say, nonexistent.
